I recently got my hands on a Polaris 350 2 stroke ATV, and I have to say, I’m a bit overwhelmed with figuring everything out! I’m looking for some guidance on a few things, and I hope the community can help me out.

Maintenance Tips

Next, maintenance is a bit of a mystery to me. What are the common issues with the Polaris 350 2 stroke that I should be aware of? I want to make sure that I’m not neglecting any important upkeep. It would be great if someone could share a basic maintenance checklist or guide based on their experience.

Parts Replacement

I’ve also heard that parts can be hard to come by for older models. Can anyone suggest some reliable vendors or perhaps tips on sourcing parts for the Polaris 350? I’ve been searching online, but I want to make sure I’m buying quality components.

Community Insights

Lastly, any personal experiences or stories with this machine? Whether it’s about performance in different terrains or any mods you’ve done, I would love to hear how you guys have made the most of your Polaris 350!

Hey there! For the Polaris 350 2-stroke, regular oil changes are crucial. Change the oil every 100 miles or so, and don’t forget to check the fuel/oil mixture ratio too!

Absolutely! Also, make sure to replace the spark plugs at least once a year. A clean spark plug can significantly improve performance.

Don’t forget about checking the air filter! A dirty filter can choke your engine and affect performance. It’s an easy fix!

I completely agree. In fact, I usually replace mine every season just to be safe. Better safe than sorry!

Always inspect the fuel lines for cracks or leaks. Those can lead to serious problems if not addressed. A quick visual check can save a lot of headaches!

Great point! What about the carburetor? Should I clean it often to avoid issues?

Yes, cleaning the carburetor periodically is a good practice! If your engine stalls or runs unevenly, it might be a sign that it’s time for a clean.

What about winter storage? Any specific maintenance tips for that?

10

Absolutely! Before storing it for winter, run some fuel stabilizer through the system and drain any remaining fuel. It prevents gumming and keeps the engine ready for spring!

11

That sounds smart! Funnily enough, I once forgot that and ended up replacing my fuel lines…not ideal!

12

Haha, I’ve had my fair share of forgetful moments too! Maintenance can be a drag, but it’s all worth it when you’re riding smoothly.

13

True! But what really frustrates me is when people skip these steps and end up in a repair shop every season.

It’s a bit irritating for sure. It just takes a little commitment to keep everything running well! What’s the worst thing you’ve had to fix?

I can help you out with that! The Polaris 350 2 stroke has some great specifications, and tuning the carburetor is key for better performance. You might want to consider an aftermarket exhaust system too!

I’ve heard that a performance exhaust can make a significant difference. Have you looked into brands like FMF or Dynojet for upgrades?

Don’t forget about the importance of jetting if you upgrade your carburetor! It can really optimize fuel flow and power. Anyone have tips on which jets work best?

That’s a good point! I think around a 150 main jet is often recommended for these models with mods. Has anyone tried that?

You can also look into cylinder porting for extra torque! It’s a bit of a project but worth it. Has anyone here done that?

Porting sounds complex! I’d love to hear more about how it works. Does it really make that much difference in performance?
